Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 155

Chapter 155: Downpour
Liushiliu helped Duan Yixin fill the bathtub with hot water and then said, “Miss Duan, I will guard outside while you take a bath.”

After leaving these words, Liushiliu left the house and closed the door. He stood in front of the closed door, watching the heavy rain and guarding Duan Yixin.

In the bedroom, Duan Yixin quickly took off her wet clothes and got into the bathtub. When her cold body was submerged in the warm water, she breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling her body slowly warming up, Duan Yixin leaned in the bathtub, enjoying the rare hot bath.

Duan Yixin stayed in the bathtub for ten minutes before getting out and getting dressed. She came out of the bedroom and opened the main door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Liushiliu turned around and saw Duan Yixin had changed her clothes and said, “Miss Duan, let me pour out the bath water for you.”

Before Duan Yixin could refuse, Liushiliu had already walked into the bedroom. Duan Yixin was a little embarrassed and went to the kitchen with an oil-paper umbrella. Judging from how dark the sky was, it looked like the rain was going to last for a long time.

Duan Yixin put the oil-paper umbrella in the kitchen and rolled up her sleeves. Since it is troublesome to go to the kitchen when it rains heavily, Duan Yixin plans to make more food that can be stored for a long time.

Although time in the warehouse is static, she cannot use it freely when Liushiliu is around. If she wanted to use something from the warehouse, she needed a logical explanation of where she got the items.

Therefore, Duan Yixin plans to make a lot of steamed buns and pancakes and store them in the warehouse. By leaving some food outside as a cover, she could take the food out of the warehouse and eat it directly. After making the decision, Duan Yixin started busy in the kitchen.

After Liushiliu drained the bath water and put away the bathtub, he smelled the aroma of fried pancakes wafting from the kitchen. He swallowed and stood in front of the house, glancing towards the kitchen from time to time. While Duan Yixin was busy in the kitchen, the rain became heavier and heavier.

Because Yunshan Village has the highest terrain among the villages located around Yun Mountain, heavy rain does not flood it; rather, it flows downward. As time goes by, the water level of the river rises.

While the villagers in Yunshan Village were anxious because of the increasingly heavy rain and the inconvenience of going out, the villagers in the lower-lying villages were already panicking. As rainwater flooded their farmland and river levels continued to rise, villagers were forced to come out and reinforce the riverbanks with stones.

While villagers in other villages were racing against time to strengthen the river banks, Duan Yixin finished the last batch of steamed buns and used up all the flour.

Looking out through the kitchen window, Duan Yixin found that the rain had not stopped but had gotten worse. At this moment, she had a bad premonition. She turned to look at the grains and vegetables on the kitchen counter and made a quick decision.

Duan Yixin packed the steamed buns and pancakes into a bamboo basket and then put the remaining steamed buns and pancakes into her warehouse. When only basic cooking utensils and a large earthen water jar were left in the kitchen, she returned to the house holding an oil-paper umbrella and the bamboo basket on her back.

Liushiliu saw her coming with a big bamboo basket on her back and quickly took it from her. Feeling the weight of the bamboo basket, he asked in surprise, “Miss Duan, how much food did you cook in two hours?”

Duan Yixin shook off the water on the oil-paper umbrella, placed it on the wall, and said, “I have made a lot of steamed buns and pancakes. Judging from the dark thunderclouds, it seems that the rain will last for a long time. Rather than letting the flour get damp and damaged, it is better to make the flour into food.”

After hearing her explanation, Liushiliu nodded to express his understanding. After Duan Yixin and Liushiliu entered the house, they sat around the wooden table. Duan Yixin opened the lid of the bamboo basket and took out a bamboo plate.

After placing the bamboo plate on the table, she uncovered the cloth. Liushiliu swallowed hard when he saw the plump steamed buns and fragrant scallion pancakes on the bamboo plate.

Duan Yixin saw his eager look and said with a smile, “Let’s eat first, lest the food get cold.”

Just when the two of them were about to start eating, Liushiliu suddenly stood up and said, “Someone is coming.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Liushiliu disappeared. Duan Yixin stood up, went to get the oil-paper umbrella, and then walked out of the house. Standing behind the low fence, she saw Chi Xiyou walking over wearing a straw raincoat.

Duan Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, “Elder Brother Xiyou, it’s raining so heavily. What are you doing here?”

Chi Xiyou wiped the rain from his eyes and asked, “Xin Xin, are you alright?”

Duan Yixin opened the door for him and said, “I’m fine. Let’s go in first and talk inside.”

After following Duan Yixin into the house, Chi Xiyou said, “The villages located on the lower terrain have been flooded. Mother was very worried about you and asked me to come over and check on you.”

The moment he said this, Duan Yixin’s heart skipped a beat. When she saw the dark thunderclouds this noon, she had a bad premonition. It turns out that her bad things have really happened.

After Chi Xiyou took out his raincoat, he walked into the house shivering from the cold and saw a plate of steamed buns and pancakes on the wooden table, as well as a large bamboo basket placed next to the wooden table.
